The son of the Jockey Lot owner was killed in a crash outside the Anderson flea market Sunday morning, according to officials.

Authorities with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said the wreck happened about 11:45 a.m. when a car traveling south on Highway 29 went off the side of the road and hit two people.

Joseph "Mitch" McClellion, 25, was flown to Greenville Memorial Hospital, but died later. Officials said he is the son of the late Richard "Dickey" McClellion, who died of cancer in June, and was the owner of the Jockey Lot. He is also the stepbrother of Matthew "Jet" McClellion, who is the former T.L. Hanna High School baseball star who died on his way home from visiting his dad's grave on Sept. 7.

Investigators said they don't know why the car swerved off the road, but an investigation is under way.

Sunday night troopers charged the driver of the car, Christopher Martin, with felony driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance.

Martin's bond was set at $70,000, with instructions to avoid the family and Jockey Lot property.
